Extreme value theory and high quantile convergence

Mikhail Makarov

Journal of Operational Risk

Abstract: ABSTRACT In this paper we raise some issues concerning estimation of high quantiles and shortfalls using extreme value theory (EVT). We demonstrate that for a wide class of distribution, EVT does not lead to uniform relative quantile convergence. Further we show that, in general, EVT does not lead to mean convergence.
